Re: Ned's Shooting Thread

Maybe the thread Ned is shooting is an 'Irish Pennant' on one of his uniforms. Those things will get you gigged on an inspection.

Re: Ned's Shooting Thread

You guys cottoned on pretty quick.
At least you didn't say "I told you sew"
Quit needling Ned, its his yarn, let him tell it and stop trying to stitch him up or he will go sit in the corner and silk.

Re: Ned's Shooting Thread

I took the Blackhawk out today with the 45 colt cylinder in and it shot better with HP's, but, not good enough.
Could be it likes 250 gr HP's better than 230 gr HP's.

I shot at a spot on a log and found it was hitting a little left, so I moved the sight and it seemed better.

I need to .45 acp again and see.

Yellow flies are horrible out in the woods and worse in the swampy areas.

Chiggers, ticks, several kinds of mosquitoes, deer flies, yellow flies, and several kinds of wasps, and those ground dwelling yellow jackets. Then there's rattlers, copperheads, and cottonmouth snakes! I love the South!

Have fun with the .45ACP cylinder. New gun, so you two got to get acquainted with one another!

You could have just moved the log

Funny how same make/model/caliber/bbl length will prefer different loads.

Re: Ned's Shooting Thread

Water was down, none running over the forest road. As a result, some jack wagon got out there and made a fire in this heat and burned my
section of log I used as a tgt stand.

Left an empty wiskey bottle and some MRE related trash, I cleaned it up.

Yellow flies were still a pain.

Good to hear the Blackhawk is limbering up and shooting good groups.
Sorry to hear about the combustion of the target stand by the idiot. Maybe he was trying to smoke out the yellow flies with waterlogged wood?
Which reminds me of something I did way back when to keep people away from one of my favorite fishing spots. I got three BIG rubber snakes that looked like copperheads and placed one under the log section I used as a seat, and tied the other two in bushes to left and right of the log seat. They looked real enough that I checked to make sure before I sat down!
